The Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) has approved a grant to the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) to support the delivery of the Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) Environmental Science (ES) syllabus. This will include the development of a digital toolkit, which aims to improve students’ performance in the examination.

Director of projects at CDB, Daniel Best, said that the project will promote greater environmental awareness among the broader population, fill gaps that exist in the delivery of the environmental science curriculum, and improve mastery of the subject by both teachers and students.
